Last week, David and Chris assisted with the arrival of a delegation of Sikh Priests from India. The priests are based at the Golden Temple of Amritsar and are hugely significant religious leaders within Sikhism.

They are attending religious events in Heaton Park, as well as visiting Sikh Communities around the North West.

They were met by a joyful welcoming committee in Terminal Two Arrivals, who sang hymns and shared ceremonial garlands.

International Workers Memorial Day 2026 1024 682 David Twomey

International Workers Memorial Day 2026

On this International Workers Memorial Day (28th April), representatives from across the airport gathered in the Memorial Garden.

It was great to see so many different teams and departments represented. A huge thanks to all who organised, attended or participated.

During the service, the names of departed colleagues were read out, silence held and wreaths laid on behalf of MAG and Unite the Union.

We heard the words of the poet Amanda Gorman, which seem to say so much in our present times:

‘There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it,

if only we’re brave enough to be it.’

Many thanks to everyone involved!
